We decided to take a break from eating at our hotel and we were pointed at the Bistro on the Quay restaurant by our head waiter. What a little gem of a place to eat in such a magnificent location next to the marina. The staff were very attentive from the moment we arrived right through to our departure; and... More

I have been visiting the Bistro 3 or 4 times a year for several years now and can honestly say I have never had a bad experience.

Great food, great service, great location and great value - Bistro on the Quay, what's not to like?! I'll be back!
